Quartero, Capiz

The Municipality of Cuartero belongs to Panay Island. Before the town was a dense forest inhabited by some tropical and man eating animals. Time goes by some settlers accidentally reach the place using the river known as the Panay River by means of their passage.
For so many years, the settlers came by and decided to give the place a name. Binudhian was the first name they gave, followed by a Mapang which they named after a creek. After those two, they changed it again to Fonda which means “founder”.

One whole week of fun, revelry, cultural activities and frenzied street dancing are enjoyed by the Cuarteronhon’s. Agdahanay Festival coincides with the annual town fiesta.
